Booked in to this hotel for two nights stay. The interior is very tired with carpets worn and patched. The room was in a similar condition, not clean and very dusty. The buffet breakfast room was very tired and again not very clean. Morning coffee is from a sachet and an urn of hot water. The waiter was less than... More

The Gordon Hotel needs three of three things.1 complete demolition,2 relocating to Albania,3 close the kitchen down and promise never to open again.This place sucks with a capital S.The restaurant is bleak and uninviting,the menus drab crumpled confused.The only thing that was real was the food,real bad,real real bad.With a heavy heart we ordered the safest thing on the menu,steak...

We stayed here for one night when we were visiting the lovely city of Rocester and Chatham dockyards. We were looking for somewhere to park off the High Street when we saw the entrance to the Hotels car park so parked there and went in to see if they had a room. We were offered a choice of 3 rooms...

Following an unsucessful operation to remove a brain tumour I have been left disabled, although there are no designated disabled facilities with the Hotel being so old, I was treated with the utmost kindness by all the staff,even having meals brought uo to our room. We went with my parents for the Dickensian weekend in December and will be going... More

My wife and I booked into the hotel to meet up with family. The hotel is centrally located and although there was a student graduation, with parties etc, going on the area was not noisy at night. Hotel is a good mixture of original Victorian features with modern, clean rooms. Staff were very friendly and helpful, breakfast was good. Bathroom... More

We did not plan to stay in Rochester but were so negatively suprised by Chatham that we just stumbled on Rochester instead and liked the High Street. There is not much accomodation there so we got stuck with this hotel. Price, well, not too bad but once you see what you get I think it's overpriced. Basic room, outdated, mostly... More

I am surprised at the other reviews in here, as I did not find it that bad when I stayed here. Admittedly it was only for one night and in a single room at last minute (as well as the Dickens Festival being on too, which I had not allowed for in my travel plans). It did provide me with... More

Stopped for one night at the Gordon House Hotel on a Saturday night. The room looked lovely when we first got in it, but on closer inspection layers of dust was on every surface, all around the top of the four poster bed and about a centimeter thick on the fan above the bed. Bathroom was ensuit but again very... More
